The #22 Ole Miss softball team has been fighting it’s way through a very tough schedule. With a 4-game home-stand, beginning against Memphis, it isn’t getting any easier. Memphis (23-19) is a strong team and a very formidable opponent. Add to that, the close proximity of the two schools and you have a heated rivalry. Of course, LSU is coming.
#22 Ole Miss (27-13) needed to take control of the Tigers early, in order to preserve their national ranking and to build momentum going back into a tough SEC schedule. Behind the strong performance of the ever-reliable Kaitlin Lee, the Rebels would take down Memphis and look forward to LSU, coming to Oxford in another weekend SEC series.
